De Leon, Miguel Angel.
Biographical notes:
Guatemalan artist and caricaturist. Disinherited son of General Socorro de Leon, the Guatemalan patriot, who did not approve his son's way of life. De Leon adopted the name Ket-Zaal, representing the Guatemalan bird which cannot live in captivity. He studied at the Beaux Arts School in Barcelona, meeting many comtemporary artists, the most influential of whom was Santiago Rusinol. He lived a bohemian lifestyle, among artists in cities that were gathering spots of like-minded artists: Mexico City in the 20s, New York in the 30s, New Orleans, San Francisco, etc. in the 40s.
